The Assembly of People's Representatives validated, on Wednesday, the additional article n°113 of the 2026 finance bill, which revises the retirement regime of deputies. The text was adopted in plenary session by 77 votes for, 18 against, and 10 abstentions. This provision modifies articles 3 and 5 of Law n°16 of 1985 governing parliamentary pensions.
Changes to the Retirement Regime
According to the new version of article 3, the retirement pension will now be proportional to the number of terms served:
- 30% after a single term
- 60% after two terms
- 90% for three terms within the Assembly of People's Representatives
Increase in Deductions
The reform also concerns article 5, which increases the deductions applied to parliamentary allowances. These will be subject to a contribution of 13.5%, compared to 10% previously, paid to the CNRPS. The state also increases its participation, which rises from 15% to 20.5%, according to data reported by the TAP agency.
